New Roof Installed on One of Two Adjoining Buildings

May 31, 1996

LVT Number: 10630

Landlord applied for MCI rent increases based on the installation of a new roof. The DRA ruled for landlord, and tenants appealed. Tenants claimed that the building consisted of two towers and that any rent increase must be calculated on the total number of apartments in the building. The DHCR ruled against tenants. The property consisted of two separate buildings connected by a one-story interior archway. The new roof was installed on one building only.

Given the unique structure of the buildings, the MCI increase was properly granted only for tenants living in the building that benefited from the roof installation.
